TurkishTimes İçimizden Haberler
I started playing table tennis when I was just 8 years old and have played on the same team as my twin sister for nearly 15 years. We’ve been part of several prestigious sports clubs across Turkey, such as Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Kınalıada, Kırklareli, and the Fenerbahçe Veterans Club. Over the years, we have won many championships in both Istanbul and other parts of Turkey.
Table tennis has turned into our family passion. Both my parents started playing the sport and now compete as veterans. While I was at university, I played for the university club and started coaching others in table tennis. Later, in my professional life, I helped create and manage sports clubs in the companies and I coached teams as a volunteer and taught people how to play.
My involvement in table tennis also led me to participate in a commercial directed by Cem Yılmaz, several magazines and TV interviews.
After moving to London, I took a break from my professional table tennis player career. Now, I enjoy playing casually with my husband and friends on weekends.
According to me, Table tennis is more than just a sport; it’s a way to maintain physical fitness, sharpen reflexes, and improve hand-eye coordination. Through coaching and playing, I’ve seen how table tennis can positively impact personal development, encourage a healthy lifestyle, and foster social connections.
I would be excited to play with my colleagues and am eager to help create a table tennis team at TBUK. If you’re interested in playing, learning table tennis or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
